In a recent study, poison centers saw 530 percent increase in cases of melatonin overdose in children. Most melatonin overdoses in children result in no symptoms and can be managed at home. More info and tips for parents on poisonhelp.org here: rb.gy/uplsbe.

A reminder to always correlate lab results with clinical presentation. When you hear hoofbeats, usually its a horse, every now and then it might be a zebra. But you should always be asking yourself, "Why am I hearing hoofbeats when I am working in the emergency department."
